Program Description: Full FOA Title is Recovery Act: Carbon Capture and Sequestration from Industrial Sources and Innovative Concepts for Beneficial CO2 Use The CO2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS) and CO2 use

is a cost-shared collaboration between the Government and industry to increase investment in clean

industrial technologies and sequestration projects. In accordance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and Section 703 of Public Law 110¿140, for this Funding Opportunity

Announcement, DOE's two specific objectives, identified as Technology Areas, are to demonstrate: (1) Large-scale industrial CCS projects from industrial sources and (2) Innovative concepts for beneficial

CO2 use. The Applicants shall clearly identify the technology area under which the application is

being submitted. Technology Area 1 - Large-scale industrial CCS projects from industrial sources: The objective is to demonstrate advanced technologies that capture and sequester carbon dioxide emissions

from industrial sources into underground formations. The large-scale CCS projects include integration

of CO2 capture, transportation and sequestration incorporating comprehensive monitoring, verification accounting (MVA). The projects may include plant efficiency improvements for

integration with CO2 capture technology. The industrial sources include, but are not limited to,

cement plants, chemical plants, refineries, steel and aluminum plants, manufacturing facilities, and power plants using opportunity fuels (petroleum coke, municipal waste, etc.). Plants with electric

power output greater than 50% of total energy output that operate on more than 55% coal as a feedstock are ineligible. The sequestration opportunities include deep saline formations, and deep

geologic systems including basalts, operating oil and gas fields, depleted oil and gas fields, and

unmineable coal seams. The CO2 sequestration commercial benefits include enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced methane recovery from unmineable coal seams. DOE's objective is that

Recipients are able to operate at commercial scale in an industrial setting, technologies that make

progress toward capture and sequestration of 75% of CO2 from the treated stream comprising at least 10% CO2 by volume that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere and at a scale sufficient to

evaluate full impact of the CO2 capture technology on plant operations, economics, and performance.

Additionally, the objective is to demonstrate geologic sequestration options in a variety of geologic settings in order to evaluate costs, operational processes, and the technical performance. DOE's target

is for one million tons per year of CO2 emissions from each plant to be captured and sequestered. The evaluation process will give greater weights to applications for projects that capture and sequester

amounts of CO2 approaching or exceeding DOE's Industrial Carbon Capture and Sequestration



(ICCS) target of one million tons per plant per year by 2015 as an integral component of commercial operation. Long-term commitments from the suppliers or purchasers or users of CO2 would strengthen

an application. Coordination with a large scale sequestration test, including EOR, is one way to demonstrate participation by a long term purchaser, or supplier of CO2, although other approaches to

demonstrating sequestration will be given equal consideration in the merit review process

Clean Coal Power Initiative - Round 3


Funding Available: $0




Eligible Recipients:

Contact Person: Raymond Johnson Contact Phone:

Program Description: The Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI) is a cost-shared collaboration between the Government and industry to increase investment in low-emission coal technology by demonstrating advanced coal-

based, power generation technologies, consistent with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-

58 (EPACT 2005). The CCPI goal is to accelerate the readiness of advanced coal technologies for commercial deployment, thus ensuring that the United States has clean, reliable, and affordable

electricity and power.

Eligible Uses of Funding: By overcoming technical risks associated with bringing advanced technology to the point of

commercial readiness, the CCPI accelerates the development of new coal technologies for power and

hydrogen production, contributes to proving the feasibility of integrating carbon dioxide (CO2) management and power production and facilitates the movement of technologies into the marketplace

that are emerging from the core research and development activities. CCPI directly supports the Climate Change Technology Program to reduce emissions of CO2, a greenhouse gas. For this

Announcement, DOE's specific objective is to demonstrate advanced coal-based technologies that

capture and sequester, or put to beneficial use, CO2 emissions. DOE's goals are to demonstrate at commercial scale in a commercial setting, technologies that (1) can achieve a minimum of 50% CO2

capture efficiency and make progress toward a target CO2 capture efficiency of 90% in a gas stream

containing at least 10% CO2 by volume, (2) make progress toward capture and sequestration goal of less than 10% increase in the cost of electricity (COE) for gasification systems and less than 35% for

combustion and oxycombustion systems all as compared to current (2008) practice, and (3) capture

and sequester or put to beneficial use a minimum of 300,000 tons per year of CO2 emissions using a thirty day running average to determine if the project successfully meets the CO2 capture efficiency

and the capture and sequestration or beneficial use rate requirements of this Announcement. DOE is currently developing large scale field tests of geologic CO2 sequestration in the U.S., on the order of 1

million tons of CO2 per year under a separate program. DOE is interested in allowing demonstration

projects under CCPI to integrate with the sequestration field tests, which may already be fully operational by the time the CCPI projects come on-line. A project performer could, for example,

attempt to integrate a CCPI project with a sequestration field test to supply lower-cost CO2, and

reduce the cost of either or both projects. This would require careful cooperation or integration of the management of both projects.

Program Description: The mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications Program is to develop, produce and distribute stable and radioactive isotope products

that are in short supply. Isotopes are high-priority commodities of strategic importance for the Nation

and are essential for energy, medical and national security applications, and basic research; a goal of the program is to make critical isotopes more readily available to meet domestic U.S. needs.

Community-sponsored studies and workshops have identified a number of stable and radioactive

isotopes in short supply that are needed by the research and applied sciences communities. The reliable availability of isotopes for research is crucial for U.S. scientists to stay engaged at the forefront

of scientific advances and discoveries in isotope-using sciences.

The Program is steward of the Isotope Production Facility (IPF) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the Brookhaven Linear Isotope Producer (BLIP) facility at BNL, and hot cell facilities for

processing isotopes at ORNL, BNL and LANL. The Program also coordinates and supports isotope production at a suite of university, national laboratory, and commercial accelerator and reactor



facilities throughout the Nation to promote a reliable supply of domestic isotopes.

Eligible Uses of Funding: Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the Office of Science provides

support for initiatives for R&D on alternative isotope production techniques, which will be dedicated to the development of and production of stable and radioactive isotopes in short supply. To that end,

the Office of Nuclear Physics solicits innovative research and development applications to

significantly strengthen our capabilities to produce stable and radioactive isotopes. Research at universities, national laboratories or private companies should focus on the development of advanced,

cost-effective and efficient technologies for producing, processing, recycling and distributing isotopes in short supply. The successful research programs should lead to breakthroughs that will facilitate an

increased supply of isotopes and complement the existing portfolio of isotopes produced and

distributed by the Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications Program. Of interest also is the training of the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers in areas related to

isotope production. The following areas are among the many potential research and development

topics of interest to this announcement:•Development of alternative methods to produce reactor and accelerator isotopes crucial for research in

medicine, materials, physics, chemistry, energy, environment, and national security.

•New and innovative approaches to produce or enhance the supply of alpha-emitting radionuclides that are critical to advance nuclear medicine applications.

•Research and development of new and innovative production methods for stable isotopes, including electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic separation methods.

•Innovative approaches to model and predict behavior and yields of targets undergoing irradiation in

order to minimize target failures during routine isotope production.

Recovery Act - Demonstration of Integrated Biorefinery Operations






Eligible Recipients: No one since the grant has expired.



Contact Web:

Program Description: The intent of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will be to select integrated biorefinery

projects that have the necessary technical and economic performance data that validates their

readiness for the next level of scale-up. In general, integrated biorefineries employ various combinations of feedstocks and conversion technologies to produce a variety of products, with the

main focus on producing biofuels and bioproducts. Co- or by-products can include additional fuels, chemicals (or other materials), and heat and power. For the purpose of this FOA, the term integrated

biorefinery is a facility that uses an acceptable feedstock (as defined in the FOA), to produce a biofuel

or bioproduct as the primary product (as defined in the FOA) and may produce other products including additional fuels, chemicals (or other materials), and heat and power as co-products. These

integrated biorefineries would produce, as their primary product, a liquid transportation fuel that

Program Description: This grant award is being made available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

(P.L. 111-5). Funding will support the enrollment of additional children and families as well as create new teaching and other positions in Early Head Start programs. The Administration for Children and

Families solicits applications from public or private non-profit organizations, including faith-based organizations or for-profit organizations, that wish to compete for funds that are available to provide

Early Head Start services to pregnant women, infants and toddlers and their families. The

Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces the availability of approximately $619 million to be competitively awarded for the purpose of expanding enrollment by approximately 55,000

low-income children and their families. This expansion is only to increase the number of pregnant

women, infants and toddlers served in Early Head Start. Financial assistance will be competitively awarded to local public and local non-profit and for-profit private entities, including Early Head Start

and Head Start grantees, to provide child and family development services for low-income families

with infants and toddlers ages birth to three years and pregnant women who are not currently being served by a Head Start or Early Head Start program. Early Head Start programs are funded to provide

early, continuous, intensive and comprehensive child development and family support services. The purpose of the Early Head Start program is to enhance children's physical, social, emotional, and

intellectual development; to assist pregnant women to access comprehensive prenatal and post partum

care; to support parents' efforts to fulfill their parental roles; and to help parents move toward self-sufficiency. Research demonstrates that such early, continuous, intensive and comprehensive

programs that are well implemented improve school readiness outcomes for children. This grant

opportunity is being made available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Successful applicants will be subject to reporting requirements consistent with the Act and with

current Head Start regulations. All interested applicants can access information that will inform the

design of quality Early Head Start programs that meet the requirements of the Head Start Program Performance Standards and other regulations and the Head Start Act on the Early Childhood Learning

and Knowledge Center (http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov)

Eligible Uses of Funding: Early Head Start programs must provide directly or through referral, early, continuous, intensive and

comprehensive child development and family support services that will enhance the physical, social,

emotional, and intellectual development of participating children, support parents' efforts to fulfill their parental roles; and help parents move toward self-sufficiency.

Given the need for continuity of care for pregnant women, and infant and toddler age children, the

Office of Head Start anticipates that applicants will propose serving children in a full-year model. The

Office of Head Start expects that applicants requesting to implement a full-year model will propose per child costs that will, in most circumstances, be higher than the costs needed to provide part-year

services. It is expected that applicants, based on community and family need, will select program

options that best meet the changing needs of families over the time they are in the program. As family needs and circumstances change over time a variety of program options make it more likely that the



applicant will meet those changing needs of families served.

Applicants proposing full day options using multiple sources of funding must explain how they will continue to serve children whose families experience job loss and loss of work support, such as child

care subsidies.

Programs providing Early Head Start services will:

Provide high quality early education services that promote the physical, social, emotional, cognitive

and language development of young children and families during pregnancy, upon birth, and during the early years;

Provide services through appropriate program options: center based, home based, family child care,

combination option, or with the approval of the Office of Head Start, locally designed option; Assure continuity of services and smooth transitions between program options when the needs of

families change, such as when children are enrolled in full day options with child care subsidies and families lose subsidies due to job loss;

Assist enrolled pregnant women to access comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, through

referrals;Provide pregnant women and other family members, as appropriate, with prenatal education on fetal

development;

Provide information on the benefits of breast feeding to all pregnant and nursing mothers; Provide arrangements for nursing mothers who choose to breast feed in center-based programs;

Provide services in a culturally and linguistically responsive manner to support the home environment

of the child; Provide early opportunities for infants and toddlers to grow and develop in warm, nurturing and

inclusive environments; Recruit, train and supervise high quality staff to ensure the kind of warm and continuous relationships

between caregivers and children that are crucial to learning and development for infants and toddlers;

Provide professional development plans for each staff member to ensure that each staff person maintains qualifications for his/her position, including meeting all requirements for staff working with

infants and toddlers (Head Start Act Sections 645A(h)(1) and (2);

Head Start grantees must, unless a waiver is granted, contribute 20 percent of the total cost of the

program from non-federal funds. More information on non-federal share is available under cost

sharing and matching, Section III.2. No more than 15 percent of total costs may be for program administration (See 45 CFR Part 1301.32 for a discussion of administrative costs). An HHS official

may grant a waiver of the 15 percent limitation on development and administrative costs and approve a higher percentage for a specific period of time not to exceed twelve months. Head Start is

administered by the Administration for Children and Families, one of the principal components of the

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Since its beginning in 1965, Head Start has served more than 25 million children and their families. Head Start, in FY 2008, served 906,992 children, of

whom 61,764 were served in Early Head Start programs. There are approximately 1,600 Head Start

grantees, including 679 grantees providing Early Head Start services.

Program Description: The focus of the SCF Nonprofit Capacity Building program is to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations to address the broad economic recovery issues present in their communities, including

helping low-income individuals secure and retain employment, earn higher wages, obtain better-quality jobs, and gain greater access to state and Federal benefits and tax credits. For example,

nonprofits receiving competitive financial assistance from their lead organization could use the funds

to purchase computers or set up a computer lab to provide free, online information on State and Federal benefits for low- and moderate-income individuals. Funds could be used to perform a local

workforce assessment or other research designed to connect workers to employers. Funds could also be

used for developing a resource directory to help increase access to the benefits (e.g., ARRA benefits) for which individuals and families are eligible. An organization receiving financial assistance from a

lead organization under this announcement could establish a one-stop center where individuals can

obtain free, customized benefits information, tax information, information on ARRA, and/or apply for benefits and file tax returns.

The SCF Nonprofit Capacity Building program funds pay for the collaborative efforts of lead

organizations with their project partners to build capacity that results in improved social service

programs and activities, rather than for direct social services. These funds will help participating organizations, selected to be project partners, to build the capacity to expand and strengthen programs

and services to help low-income individuals secure and retain employment, earn higher wages, and

obtain better-quality jobs, such as by providing job readiness and retention training (e.g., training related to job searching, interviewing, resume writing, or computer skills); education/training (e.g.,

academic remediation, General Education Development, English as a Second Language classes, job

retraining or training for new job skills such as those needed for green jobs); and other support services related to securing and retaining employment (e.g. emergency cash or food assistance,

counseling, transportation, child care, and post-placement support).

The SCF Nonprofit Capacity Building funds also will help participating organizations build the

capacity to expand and strengthen programs and services aimed at increasing low- and moderate-income individuals' access to the State and Federal benefits and tax credits for which individuals are



eligible. Examples include developing organizational capacity to offer a counselor-assisted centralized electronic eligibility screening and application tool; establishing procedures to assess eligibility of

prospective and current clients for benefits and tax credits; developing referral protocols with other local service providers; developing a guide/clearinghouse of benefits and tax credits; and developing

the capacity to offer free tax preparation assistance. This list is illustrative and not exhaustive as there

are many ways that grassroots organizations address the broad economic recovery issues present in their communities.

Program Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH

under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law

111-5, solicits grant applications for a new initiative called Biomedical Research, Development, and Growth to Spur the Acceleration of New Technologies (BRDG-SPAN) Pilot Program (RC3). The

purpose of this pilot program is to address the funding gap between promising research and development (R and D) and transitioning to the market -- often called the Valley of Death -- by

contributing to the critical funding needed by applicants to pursue the next appropriate milestone(s)

toward ultimate commercialization; i.e., to carry out later stage research activities necessary to that end. This program aims to accelerate the transition of research innovations and technologies toward

the development of products or services that will improve human health, help advance the mission of

NIH and its Institutes and Centers (ICs), and create significant value and economic stimulus. This program also aims to foster partnerships among a variety of research and development (R and D)

collaborators working toward these aims. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the RC3 grant

mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Contingent upon the submission of a sufficient number of scientifically meritorious applications, NIH intends to commit at least $35

million in response to this FOA. We anticipate that at least 10 awards will be made in fiscal year 2010, pending the number and quality of applications and availability of funds. As a pilot, an evaluation will

be necessary before any reissuance of this FOA; any reissuance is also predicated on funds

availability. Applications received under this FOA may be given funding priority if the project is deemed to have high commercial potential to be developed into a product or service as indicated by

the underserved need being addressed, the lack of alternative resources in the market and/or the

applicants ability to secure funding or in-kind support from an independent third-party investor and/or strategic partner.

Assistance to Firefighters Fire Station Construction Grants

Homeland Security, Department of





Eligible Recipients: A variety of fire departments, including, paid, volunteer and combination fire departments; fire

departments located in communities of varying sizes; and fire departments located in urban, suburban

and rural communities. A “fire department” is defined as an agency or organization having a formally recognized arrangement with a State, territory, local or tribal authority (city, county, parish, fire

district, township, town or other governing body) to provide fire suppression to a population within a

fixed geographical area on a first-due basis.



Contact Web: www.firegrantsupport.com

Program Description: While the type of the project is not considered (i.e., DHS will not differentiate between new

construction and modifications), the purpose of the construction or modification will have a bearing on the award determination. In this regard, the ARRA has two, equally high priorities: 1) To replace

unsafe or uninhabitable structures regardless of whether the project calls for the construction of a new

building or the rehabilitation of an existing structure. Applicants claiming unsafe or uninhabitable structures may be required to provide documentation regarding the nature of the health or safety

deficiencies. Any health-code violations or orders to vacate unsafe structures must pre-date the

enactment of the ARRA for consideration. 2) To fund projects expanding fire protection coverage to meet increased service demand in compliance with NFPA 1710 or 1720. In these instances, expanding

fire protection coverage under a community’s capital improvement plan will receive higher consideration than expansion projects not engaged in capital improvement planning. The next priority

is to fund projects modifying or expanding existing structures to provide sleeping quarters and/or

amenities for full-time occupancy (to allow for habitation 24 hours per day). A slightly lower priority is to fund modifying or expanding existing structures to accommodate support functions such as

communications. The lowest priority is to fund projects replacing or expanding habitable structures

that are cramped or inefficiently configured for operation. Another community characteristic that will be assessed is the community’s status under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Applicants

serving communities not in good standing under NFIP receive lower consideration than departments

serving those communities in good standing or those which have not been mapped.

Eligible Uses of Funding: 1. Building construction

2. Environmental assessment 3. Building site preparation, including demolition, if necessary 10

4. Design, planning, and engineering expenses incurred after award 5. Expenses necessary to comply with the most current edition of NFPA1500

6. Expenses necessary to comply with the locally adopted building, fire, plumbing, mechanical and

electrical codes. 7. Sprinklers or other life safety and fire protection systems

8. Vehicle exhaust extraction systems

9. Decontamination areas 10. Space for training (up to 600 square feet)

11. Space for gender-segregated sleeping

12. Gender-segregated restrooms 13. Space for exercise equipment

14. Kitchens 15. Kitchen appliances

16. Dining/eating area

17. ADA compliance



18. Gear racks, storage and shelving for gear/equipment 19. Internet cabling

20. Energy conservation systems (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design -LEED™) 21. Renewable energy for HVAC and power systems

FY 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Port Security Grant Program






Eligible Recipients: No one now because the grant has expired.


Contact Email:

Contact Web: http://www.fema.gov/txt/government/grant/arra/fy09_arra_psgp_guidance.txt

Program Description: The ARRA PSGP is one tool in the comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and

implemented by the Administration to strengthen the Nation’s critical infrastructure against risks

associated with potential terrorist attacks. The Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, as amended (46 U.S.C. §70107), established the PSGP to implement Area Maritime Transportation

Security Plans and facility security plans among port authorities, facility operators, and State and local

government agencies required to provide port security services.

Eligible Uses of Funding: 1. Enhancing Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)

MDA is the critical enabler that allows leaders at all levels to make effective decisions and act early against threats to the security of the Nation’s seaports. In support of the National Strategy for Maritime

Security, port areas should seek to enhance their MDA through projects, such as access

control/standardized credentialing, command and control, communications, and enhanced intelligence sharing and analysis.

2. Enhancing Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) prevention, protection, response and recovery capabilities Port areas should seek to enhance their

capabilities to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from terrorist attacks employing IEDs, WMDs and other non-conventional weapons. Of particular concern in the port environment are attacks that

employ IEDs delivered via small craft (similar to the attack on the USS Cole), by underwater

swimmers (such as underwater mines) or on ferries (both passenger and vehicle).

3. Efforts supporting implementation of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

The TWIC is a Congressionally mandated security program through which DHS will conduct appropriate background investigations and issue biometrically enabled and secure identification cards

for individuals requiring unescorted access to U.S. port facilities. Regulations outlining the initial

phase of this program (card issuance) were issued by the transportation Security Administration (TSA) in cooperation with the

Coast Guard in 72 Federal Register 3492 (January 25, 2007).

4. Construction or infrastructure improvement projects that are identified in the Port Wide Risk

Management Plan (PWRMP) and/or Facility Security Plans (FSPs), and/or Vessel Security Plans (VSPs)

How to Apply: DHS participates in the Administration’s e-government initiative. As part of that initiative, all applications must be filed using the Administration’s common electronic “storefront” --grants.gov.

Eligible entities must apply for funding through this portal, accessible on the Internet at

Program Description: The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) provides national leadership, coordination, and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and juvenile victimization.

OJJDP supports States and communities in their efforts to develop and implement effective and

coordinated prevention and intervention programs and to improve the juvenile and criminal justice systems so that they protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and provide treatment and

rehabilitative services tailored to the needs of juveniles and their families. Through this program,

OJJDP seeks to encourage innovative and independent research and data collection to further our understanding of the scope and prevalence of technology and internet-facilitated crimes against

children and to enhance the administration of justice through improved investigation of crime. . This program furthers the purpose of the Recovery Act by helping state and local law enforcement agencies

budget investigation and prosecution dollars efficiently and conserve funds by investing strategically

in initiatives and programs that have a demonstrated effect on management of child exploitation units, preventing crime, and holding offenders accountable. OJJDP is particularly interested in topics such

as: (1) Scope and Characteristics of Internet and Technology Facilitated Crime Against Children and

Juveniles: OJJDP seeks an assessment of trends, challenges, and opportunities, including new technologies that will impact federal, State, local, and tribal efforts to combat child exploitation.

Proposals should build on the extant data, for example, studies by the Crimes against Children

Research Center at the University of New Hampshire; (2) Characteristics of Perpetrators of Internet and Technology Facilitated Crime Against Children and Juveniles: OJJDP seeks studies to validate

existing research related to the link between possession or trafficking of child pornography and actual abuse of a child and studies related to establishing a link between the types of files being viewed or

shared and the type of illegal activity; (3) Forensic Analyses: OJJDP is seeking research to develop and

test new tools and techniques to improve the efficiency of forensic analyses in internet crime cases, for example, those cases using cell phones and PDAs. Proposed projects should identify how the study

will be able to link the subject tool or strategy to improved forensic analysis results [e.g. by decreasing

the amount of time needed for forensic analyses; by capturing on scene forensics in new or innovative ways; or decreasing backlogs of forensic analyses; (4) Investigation of Internet Crimes: OJJDP is

seeking research to expand our knowledge about how technology is used in crimes against children

[e.g. cell phones, file encryption, wireless networks, and peer to peer environments] and investigative strategies and techniques that address these issues; (5) Prosecution Strategies: OJJDP is seeking data

collection and evaluation of successful prosecution strategies in internet and technology-facilitated crimes against children. OJJDP is also interested in legal analyses of how cases involving juveniles

manufacturing or distributing sexually explicit images of themselves or their peers are handled across

the U.S.; and (6) Prevention Strategies: OJJDP is seeking research on the scope and prevalence of children and youth creating and distributing explicit images of themselves and/ or their peers, with the

goal of forming strategies to prevent this kind of behavior.

Eligible Uses of Funding: Funded projects should aim to produce information that will assist state and local law enforcement and

prosecutors working internet or technology-facilitated crimes against children cases, as well as

policymakers who rely on the evidence base to make decisions.

How to Apply: Applications must be submitted through OJP’s online Grants Management System (GMS). To access

the system, go to https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov. Applicants should begin the process immediately to meet the GMS registration deadline, especially if this is the first time they have used the system. Each

Program Description: In an effort to reduce juvenile delinquency, violence, gang participation, school failure, and dropout

rates, OJJDP is issuing this solicitation to support local organizations that develop, implement, or expand local mentoring programs leading to measurable, positive outcomes for at-risk youth. A 2000

national evaluation of OJJDP’s mentoring program found significant reductions in risks involving

aggressive behavior and delinquency, peer relationships, and mental health. Lessons learned from this evaluation have increased our understanding of factors that are crucial to effective mentoring and of

promising models and effective approaches to community collaboration.

Eligible Uses of Funding: The program’s goals are to reduce juvenile delinquency and gang participation, improve academic

performance, and reduce school drop-out rates by enhancing the capacity of local efforts to develop or

networks of local affiliates, coalition members, or other established partners; and (2) local entities.

Applicants qualify as local entities if they are public organizations (such as community colleges or workforce investment boards) or private nonprofit organizations (such as community or faith-based

organizations) whose service area is limited to a single sub-State geographic area, such as a neighborhood, city, county, sub-State region, or interstate region comprised of multiple sub-State

regions (such as Kansas City). The Employment and Training Administration intends to fund grants

ranging from approximately $3 to $8 million for national grantees, and grants ranging from approximately $2 to $4 million for local grantees.

Eligible Uses of Funding: To prepare individuals, including high school dropouts, for careers in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries.

Recovery Act Limited Competition: Small Business Catalyst Awards for Accelerating Innovative Research (R43)

Small Business Administration





Eligible Recipients: Small businesses



Contact Web: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-OD-09-009.html

Program Description: This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH under

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5,

invites grant applications from small business concerns that propose to accelerate innovation through high risk, high reward research and development (R and D) that has commercial potential and is

relevant to the mission of the NIH. The Small Business Catalyst Award is further expected to support

entrepreneurs of exceptional creativity, drawn from scientific and technological environments beyond NIH, who propose pioneering and possibly transformative approaches to addressing major biomedical

or behavioral challenges with the potential for downstream commercial development. The Small Business Catalyst Award for Accelerating Innovative Research funding opportunity seeks to encourage

fresh research perspectives and approaches to serve the mission of NIH. In particular, applications

from small business concerns without a history of NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) support may receive funding priority. Solicited are

applications for support for projects that have the potential to generate high impact results (e.g.,

products, processes or services) and/or innovative research applications, research tools, techniques, devices, inventions, or methodologies. The outcomes of the research supported should have potential

to lead to products that will improve public health and create significant value and economic stimulus.

This FOA solicits early-stage ideas that promise to lead to major leaps forward in capabilities



important to serving the mission of NIH rather than incremental improvements of existing technologies. In accord with the funding priority of this initiative to attract applicants without a history

of SBIR/STTR support from NIH, the focus of the projects solicited by this FOA is on early stage technology development.


How to Apply: To download a SF424 (R&R) Application Package and SF424 (R&R) Application Guide for completing the SF424 (R&R) forms for this FOA, link to http://www.grants.gov/Apply/ and follow the
